A member asked:
Accidentally took 3 puffs of albuterol instead of 2 will i be ok?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Albuterol: Yes. Of course. Please also know that most people do not use their inhalers correctly. If you are putting the inhaler into your mouth then the medication may not being getting to the lungs appropriately. Please remember when using the inhaler that the opening of the inhaler must be about two inches away from the opening of the mouth to allow the mist to expand enough to be breathed into the lung.
